It would be nice to be able to override the styles as-in a child theme – which is the first thing I tried. Why they chose to display events in an orange (#FFA200) instead of a neutral color is beyond me! Is that color likely to go with the majority of themes? I can’t show the site to the people in my group until I change it – it looks horrible! I hope I don’t have to fix it every time I update Event Press.

The .dev.css is there because I’d started automating minimizing the .css and .js files using Phing/YUICompressor. While my code (switching between .dev.css and .css and .dev.js and .js was working by the time I pushed the current version of EP, I wasn’t completely sure that I had missed a file or two—hence the current version has *.dev.* includes.

The next version will ship with both, with the .dev.* files being included if SCRIPT_DEBUG and STYLE_DEBUG are set to true (basically mimicking how wp does it). And the orange colour was based on bp-default; ep’s styles were more or less completely written for the default themes.
